“Ordered Mandhi we’d enjoyed 5 months ago, got pilau instead… Enjoyed the meal though. The place looks great with the refurb, recommended for good meals in the city.”

“Went there for lunch. Great place, great value for money and good food. Would highly recommend.”

“Really good selection of BBQ meat dishes! This place is quite busy so there is a high turnover of freshly cooked food flowing. The chicken shawarma was a bit too saucy but that’s our only critique.”

Absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make us try different things. Their recommendations were brilliant and had such a wholesome time. The owner is a kind hearted soul and even went out of his way to arrange halwa for us. Would definitely recommend the place.

I liked the place, very solid. For value, it’s a 5 star. Plenty of food for 800 KES (depends on which one dish you order). The mango juice? A bit sweet but 5 star for only 100-150 KES. The sugar fried donut thing is a 3.5 star. Enjoyable but nothing special but if I could have it fresh, maybe 4 star. The beef dish? Value — 5 star. It had 2 large chunks of beef, boiled egg, 2 potatoes, and plenty of rice with a spaghetti meat sauce. I didn’t like the flavor profile (3 star) and the beef was tough/dry (3 star). Overall for this dish is 4 star. Would I come here again? Sure. I like it. Lots of locals. I only came once so it has promise to be better than my 4 star. Regardless, I recommend this place for value. Enjoy. Ps. After eating here, there’s a 50% chance I had mild food poisoning. I didn’t need to throw up but I had use the number 2 three times that night and thrice more in the morning. Then twice more later that day in the afternoon and evening. Old food takes 24 hours to really

I am a big fan of biryani Again by virtue of the fact that I have married a woman from Mombasa, I can never have enough of rice dishes. The very first time I visited Tarboush I was quite reluctant to make my order for fears of a bill that would cost an arm and leg Contrary to my woes, this place is way manageable, in fact the potion you receive for the price I paid for mutton biryani is unbelievable. The juice also comes in various flavours and is all fresh and soothing. The staff, I can't forget one by the name Rama, pardon my manners I left without tipping today, I owe you one. I've tried fish biryani and it was finger licking. I wish to know if it's possible to open such a joint in Nairobi please.
